Summary: Similar to the traditional approach, we consider the task of summarization as selection of top ranked sentences from ranked sentence-clusters. To achieve this goal, we rank the sentence clusters by using the importance of words calculated by using page rank algorithm on reverse directed word graph of sentences. Next, to rank the sentences in every cluster we introduce the use of weighted clustering coefficient. We use page rank score of words for calculation of weighted clustering coefficient. Finally the most important issue is the presence of a lot of noisy entries in the text, which downgrades the performance of most of the text mining algorithms. To solve this problem, we introduce the use of Wikipedia anchor text based phrase mapping scheme. Our experimental results on DUC-2002 and DUC-2004 dataset show that our system performs better than unsupervised systems and better than/comparable with novel supervised systems of this area.
